Day Four: Geysir and Gullfoss

These are pictures from the geysir after which all geysirs are named. Unfortunately, "Geysir" doesn't erupt much anymore, but there is a smaller geysir named "Strokkur" that erupts every five minutes or so. We were able to see it erupt about three times before making our way to Gullfoss.








These are pictures from Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls. It was VERY cold that day. Because it was so cold, there weren't many people around, so we were able to experience a huge tourist attraction without dealing with throngs of tourists. If you can stand the cold, it is well worth it to visit Iceland in the winter.
